Re: nvidia in 32bits chroot
Ah, I had forgotten about the Q3 source. But Doom 3? I have not heard that you can run Doom 3 natively. Last I heard, from id themselves, they *might* do it in the distant future. I'm betting they will - they have a good track record of doing so with quake 1-3 as well as doom1 and 2. -- Debianista!

Re: Sound stuttering in Doom 3.
I have Doom 3 installed in /var/chroot/sid-ia32, as well as the nvidia-glx and necessary alsa packages. Other GL-based games perform terrificly. Doom 3, however, has this annoying clicking sound throughout the game. It beings when the game is launched and does not stop until /quit. Is there any useful output on the console when you run doom? I had difficulty even getting sound in the first place (crappy onboard sound chipset...), but now it works nicely with no chopping. It might also be that the game is taking so large a chunk of your system resources that it's having trouble keeping up with playing the sound. -- Debianista! -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Re: dual opteron m/b: S2875ANRF vs. GA-7A8DW
I'm hesitating over a choice of a dual opteron motherboard. Currently I consider two options: Tyan S2875ANRF http://tyan.com/products/html/tigerk8w_spec.html I have this board - it works perfectly for me with pure64. -- Debianista! -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Re: Wine
Hmm, so what am I missing? What win32 app should I try for testing, that you others have gotten to run and is not too huge (so I have a defined test result)? I'm not really sure what you're missing. Try the minesweeper and solitaire apps that come with wine, for a start.
Re: Wine
Well, I think I got it: The problem was XFS. storing the win32 binary on a FAT partition, it at least starts.. That seems very weird, but I've had a lot of weird problems with XFS lately...
Re: Wine
Has anyone gotten WINE to run win32 apps on amd64 yet? I have tried, but no luck. Here's what I did: 1. Installed a i386 chroot 2. installed wine 3. ran winesetup Yes, basically I followed this setup, and it works fine for me. Also cedega. Not really any special tweaking required on my part.
Re: problem : quantity of memory available
Highmem (4GB) may not be enabled in that kernel? Can you search for it in the config? (/proc/kconfig ?)
Re: Nvidia direct rendering in chroot
You might have to install the full 32-bit NVidia driver package inside your chroot. At least, this is what I did.
Re: Recommendations for cheap Linux-compatible Opteron mobo
For dual opteron, Tyan boards (esp S2881 and 2) aren't cheap, but they're nice. (Tyan even _supports_ LinuxBios on them, and has an lm_sensors config you can download.) The older Tyan opteron boards are very cheap now - I have the S2875 ANRF, and I have not a single complaint.
Re: doom3 slowness
The FX5200 may just not be up for it. Afaik, FX5200 is basically a GF4MX440 upgraded to support DX9 features. A good GF3 card could quite possibly outperform your FX5200. No it is truly a GeForce FX chip, but a very minimal one. Same basic design as the 5600/5700 supposedly (4 pipelines) but much slower core and memory clocks, The 5800 had 8 pipelines and the 5900 doubles the memory bus to 256bit (helping the meomry starved pipeines). The 6800 (GT and better) have 16 pipelines while the base 6800 has 12. Memory bandwitdh matters a lot to these high end cards. The 5200 with 250MHZ core and memory (128bit) just won't match a 5900 at 400Mhz Core 425MHZ memory (256bit) and 4x2 pipelines or a 6800 ultra with 400Mhz core and 550MHz memory (256bit) and 16 pipelines. The FX5200 has all the features, but only a few pipelines and very slow clockrates and narrow memory bus. It's not a high end gaming card. It will do all the nifty FX effects, at low resolution and slower frame rate. An MX card won't even do the effects, never mind the speed. Well I have an FX5200 in this machine (Barton XP 2800+, 1GB ram, nForce2 dual channel, 120G WD SATA), and I am trying doom3 in linux and at 640x480, medium quality (I have 128M ram on the card) I get about 8 or 9fps with the default advanced settings (most things on, except anti aliasing) and about 11 to 13 with all advanced settings off. If I go view a mostly dark empty wall in the game I might get 25 to 35fps. So I think you are seeing excactly what the performance of an FX5200 is supposed to be in a high polygon game like doom3. I'm getting 30-60 fps at 640x480 medium with my fx5600, opteron240s, and 1G ram. Is fx5200 that much worse than fx5600?
Re: amd64 and video card experiences?
I am mostly looking at an ATI 9200 card, but I would not mind about hearing experiences with 9600 series or nVidias 5200/5900XT series. I have an nvidia fx 5600, and it works great with nvidia's binary drivers. No experience with the free nv driver.
